Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckering podcast. I'm Jody. It's sex. I'm here with Nick Houseman. Nick, how was your weekend? Well, weekend was good. I had a little Super Bowl party. Too bad the game wasn't any better than it was, but... Terrible. Terrible game. You know, I wasn't barely even watching. We had a lot of people over, and I was kind of just chatting with a lot of people. So it was, it was that bad. It just because it was the score. It was a bad game in general.

And then on top of it, everything

or... people. So it was, it was that bad. It just because it was the score. It was a bad game in general.

And then on top of it, everything around it was a mess. Like the, we, we talked in past years about how,

like, the commercials have gotten worse. And now it's just like AI slop, every major

corporation in America telling us, it's time to come together and let's put

differences aside which is a regular course I thought it was pretty irreprehensible yeah I did

doomscroll the the rights reaction to the halftime show who would have thought that Maga would

be upset about a black artist I mean that there's nothing deeper than that in that sense. No, pure unadulterated white supremacy, which unfortunately we got to talk more about today.

to the weekender edition on Fridays and we know that you're listening so come on aboard nick we got

so much to talk about as we always do in these things but we have a growing crisis that um i think

we're seeing the beginnings of something really huge here on Saturday, a suit by 19 attorneys general won a

temporary pause on Trump actions after U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmeyer said that Musk and

Doge could cause, quote, irreparable harm. Immediately following that, we saw from the Republican Party

a lot of concerning messaging,

including J.D. Vance, who said, quote, judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate

power. Senator Mike Lee said that this was a, quote, judicial coup. What followed on Sunday night,

Trump filed a lawsuit that challenges the judiciary, more or less, and says that he has, quote, absolute power.

What we're dealing with at this point is more or less a constitutional crisis that is already

underway and is threatening now to boil over and will have probably consequences that we're

going to have to deal with for a very long time.

We're well beyond underway at this with for a very long time.
